Great scope for my AR15 223I looked around a lot for a scope with BDC and long eye relief to mount on my AR15. I wanted the BDC to be as close as possible to my Hornady 75gr BTHP match hand load rounds. After researching the M223 style scopes and other Nikon scopes the Inline XR 3-9x40 BDC 300, long eye relief of 5 inches matched my hand loads at the BDC marks on the scope from 100 thru 600yds closer than any I have found. I love the long eye relief and 3x for quick target acquisition. Nikon I would advertise this scope as a good match to AR15 223 as well as the muzzleloaders.

Inline XR 3-9x40 Matte BDC 300Purchased this scope last year and have been beyond pleased with this product. After years of an old scope, I updated to this one. Amazing glass, clear and lets lots of light in for those shots just after and before legal shooting. Have no regrets updating to this scope. Awesome feature of the BDC reticle, takes the guess work out of where to hold on those longer shots, which is important with muzzleloaders. Great to use with the Nikon SpotOn app as well to assist accuracy. For this price point, you won't be disappointed!

Quality glass from a trusted name in optics !I have used Nikon optics in cameras since the mid 70's. ALWAYS a noticeable difference in clarity over other brands. Brands both higher and lower in price point. Now Nikon has brought all those decades of quality into the riflescope market. This scope is clear to the useable edges, the ocular actually focuses. Unlike the L brand I had heretofore considered the "bar". The one minute clicks are, so far, just exactly that. The BDC marks are clear, not cluttered with extra thIngs to distract the sight picture. Few sharp edges to catch on clothing, brush and transport soft cases. Nikon hits it out of the park !

which Butler Creek flip open lens cover fits this scope?

Hello spacer,
The Nikon Inline XR 3 - 9 x 40 Matte BDC 300 Muzzleloader Riflescope has an objective lens diameter of 40 mm. You will want to measure the inner diameter of your scope in order to see what size will fit. We recommend contacting Nikon, directly, for information regarding your scope. You can reach Nikon by visiting www.nikonsportoptics.com.

What do you recommend for a mounting bracket for this scope and an AR - 15

Asked by: Digger11

Hello Digger11,
The Nikon Inline XR 3 - 9 x 40 Matte BDC 300 Muzzleloader Riflescope features several technology upgrades that will satisfy even the most demanding muzzleloading hunters. A bright new optical system, remarkable hand-turn reticle adjustments with Spring-Loaded Zero-Reset turrets and a convenient quick-focus eyepiece make adjustments while in a shooting position a breeze. The INLINE XR 3-9x40 with BDC 300 reticle is an ideal fit for virtually any inline-type rifle and can be used with Nikon Spot On Ballistic Match Technology to take the guesswork out of compensating for sabot/bullet drop. With enough power for the longest-range shots and a wide field of view to keep you on close-in or moving game, you can count on the INLINE XR 3-9x40 in any situation.

Why does a regular rifle scope not work on muzzleloader? I have been told that a scope has to be specifically built for a muzzle loader.

Asked by: gdhook

Hi gdhook,
Scopes for muzzleloaders and rimfire rifles usually have different parallax set. The parrallax of muzzleloader scope is generally lower, whereas most high power rifle scopes have the parallax set for 100 yards. You may look for scopes for long range shooting with adjustable parallax if you want to use the scope on both muzzleloader and rifle
